Mkhitaryan hits back at Arsenal critics after 'tough start'

The Gunners forward is bemused as to why Unai Emery's side are being questioned after coming unstuck against Manchester City and Chelsea

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has hit back at those critics writing Arsenal off after two games of the new Premier League season.

Having been handed a testing opening in 2018-19, the Gunners currently find themselves pointless.

Successive defeats have been suffered to Manchester City and Chelsea, with Unai Emery overseeing the club’s worst start to a top-flight campaign in 26 years.

While there is an obvious need to kick-start proceedings, Mkhitaryan claims to be baffled as to why Arsenal’s detractors have been so quick to condemn individual and collective showings.
